A flaw was found in the mfd: sm501 component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability arises from a failure to properly free allocated memory for struct sm501_devdata during the device removal process. A local attacker could potentially exploit this memory leak, which may lead to a denial of service (DoS) due to resource exhaustion.
